Baifu's worries were indeed not unnecessary. Just when the engagement between the two was approaching, the conflict broke out.

"No, I don't want to marry Cui'er!" Chu Fang said categorically to Cui'er's father, "I already have a woman I love. Cui'er will not be happy if she marries me."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to marry Cui'er. However, you can't marry that woman! The rules of Yantiao Village prohibit intermarriage with people from other villages!" Cui'er's father was no less insistent than Chu Fang.

"Can I let her come to the village and not tell her the secrets of the village?" Chu Fang begged in pain.

"No!" Cui'er's father said, "This is the rule of the village and cannot be broken in my generation!"

"Clan leader!" Chu Fang made a "plop" sound and knelt on the ground.

"No! Stop talking! There are some things that cannot be accommodated. You'd better give up!"

After saying that, Cui Er's father left without looking back.

Cui'er has been hiding aside, crying sadly.

When they met again, Cui'er seemed not to remember the heartache of the past at all, and still smiled so sweetly: "Brother Chu Fang, we will soon be married in a few days..."

"I'm sorry, Cui'er... I will treat you well after we get married..."

Chu Fang suddenly became uncharacteristically gentle towards Cui Er.

Cui'er was flattered and stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Brother Chu Fang, are you telling the truth?"

Chu Fang smiled and touched Cui'er's head.

But Baifu could clearly feel the deeper indifference behind Chu Fang's smile. But Cui'er was still ignorant and just enjoyed this false happiness.

"What, you want to see the human skin hand scroll?!" Tweety asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Our people have been in this village for hundreds of years. Aren't you curious about how long it will take?" Chu Fang looked disapproving.

Cui'er shook her head in embarrassment, "Dad said this human leather hand scroll is very evil. It has always been kept in the secret room of the ancestral hall and no one is allowed to touch it."

"Secret room?"

Chu Fang frowned. Except for worshiping the sun, ordinary people are not allowed to enter this ancestral hall. Only the clan leader can enter. Unexpectedly, there is a secret room in the ancestral hall!

Seeing that Chu Fang remained silent for a long time, Cui'er thought he was angry and quickly comforted her: "If dad passes the position of clan leader to you in the future, then you can legitimately look at that human-skin hand scroll..."

"But only one whose magic power is higher than that of all clan members can inherit the position of clan leader! I heard that the human skin hand scroll records ways to enhance magic power... Actually, I am afraid that if I lose in the magic power conference, I will let the clan leader and

You're embarrassed..." Chu Fang turned his head to the side.

"But you are already the person with the highest magic power in the village, and you have no power, so I don't care..."

Before she finished speaking, Chu Fang interrupted her in a deep voice: "But I care!" After saying that, he turned and left.

Poor Cui'er was left standing stupidly looking at Chu Fang's back.

"What should we do?" Cui'er murmured to herself:

"Dad said that except for those who have obtained the position of clan leader, no one else can read the human skin hand scroll."

"...But Brother Chu Fang also wanted to see it for me and dad..."

"...No, dad will be very angry if he knows..."

"...But Brother Chu Fang will also be sad..."

…

Baifu was extremely anxious on the side, and wanted to remind Cui'er of Chu Fang's true intentions to avoid this family's tragedy. However, she also knew very well that what she was seeing now was just repeating the tragedy of the past.

In the end, it was clear that passionate love prevailed.

It's another full moon night, and this is also the day when Tweety prepares to steal the key to her father's secret room.

Although he is the patriarch of the clan, Cui'er's father is obviously not very wary of his closest family members, so Cui'er easily took the key and went to the place where she met Chu Fang.

When Cui'er arrived, Chu Fang had been waiting for a long time.

"This is the key, take it quickly." Cui'er handed a small silver stick to Chu Fang.

When Baifu looked at it, he suddenly remembered the small metal stick that Mrs. Xu gave to the hunter! At that time, everyone was still confused as to what the small stick was used for, but it turned out to be the key to the secret room of the ancestral hall!

Chu Fang eagerly took the key, seeing no one around Cui Er anymore.

"Today is my grandfather's birthday. No one will come to the ancestral hall. But you still have to hurry up, otherwise it will be terrible if dad finds out! I will come over to get the key in an hour."

Cui'er looked forward with a guilty conscience, looked at Chu Fang affectionately again, and then reluctantly prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned around, Chu Fang grabbed Cui'er and put a delicate and fragrant silk handkerchief into her hand.

"Give it to you." Chu Fang looked directly into Cui'er's eyes with a smile.

The fragrance on the veil seems to be able to penetrate the heart and mind, making people so intoxicated that they cannot bear to put it down.

Cui'er was both happy and ashamed. She gently put the veil on her cheek and said softly: "This veil... smells so good."

But she never imagined that her passionate love would bring such disaster to her family and the entire clan!

Tweety is paying her birthdays to her grandparents in the big house. The house is very lively and very unhappy. Tweety's father is also very happy. Although everyone is lively and lively on weekdays, on such a birthday day, it will be even more exciting.

Festive.

However, Cui'er has always used a forced smile to cover up her uneasy heart. She seems to have had a premonition that something bad is about to happen.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, the whole room suddenly shook, and even the bright moon, which was originally as big as a disk, was immediately obscured by a layer of black mist.

Cui'er's father's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! Ancestral hall!"

Upon hearing these words, Cui'er immediately turned pale: How could this happen? Is Brother Chu Fang not in danger? Just when she and her father rushed to the door and prepared to go to the ancestral hall, they were surprised to find that Chu Fang actually

He was standing at the door, holding the human-skin hand scroll in his hand!

Cui'er's father saw the human skin hand scroll in Chu Fang's hand and touched the key on his body, which was missing. He immediately understood what had happened and turned his surprised and sad eyes to Cui'er.
